House on the Stream by Andrea Oliva

A family home surrounded by nature in Castelnovo, Italy.

To the borders of the country of Castelnovo
Sotto, between the stream Morella and a roman road, in a landscape
context characterized from channels, ditches, rows, shrubby stains,
gardens, villas and agricultural houses it places the "House on the
Morella". Its topological value is defined by its relationship with the road and
as an integral part of the landscape; this is achieved through the
enhancement of internal and external viewpoints and through the
interaction between solids and voids (porches and windows). The
relationships between architecture and landscape, closeness and
distance, public and private and the observer and the observatory are
also considered.
